-The two [[Peter Cushing]] Dalek movies were most likely released theatrically in the 1960s, although it's not known if they were dubbed or subtitled. (Note: The poster here ''might'' be for the later video release, as it displays the same title that was used on the VHS tapes - see below.)
+We are not sure whether the [[Peter Cushing]] Dalek movies were released theatrically in the 1960s. We have not been able to find any newspaper listings or posters that indicate there were cinema showings.

+The poster for ''' 怪人ダレクの惑星 ''' shown here appears to be an authentic cinema issue, but the only sources we can find for this image online are for a recent piece of "Poster Art" available through [https://www.amazon.ae/iCanvasART-1-Piece-Vintage-Japanese-26-Inch/dp/B00Y36B6IM iCanvasART on Amazon], so this might be an artist's representation rather than a reproduction of an actual 1960s poster.
-Both films were later released on home video in Japan. As far as we can determine, the first film was fully dubbed into Japanese and also had subtitles, but the second was only subtitled.
